Released in January 2020, the Royal Mail's first special issue of new stamps was a set dedicated to classic British video games.

Produced in association with Bitmap Books and Supple Design, eight classic titles from the 1980s and 1990s are reproduced in stamp form. This video looks at the special presentation set, with text written by gaming journalist Julian Rignall - and it came with the extra set of four Tomb Raider stamps.

Although the stamps are no longer available from the Royal Mail shop, items do appear on online auction sites and collectors' forums.
